Proud to be the First

We are dedicated to offering comprehensive anime art training and education on its history, intricacy, and beauty. Click here to read more about our programs!

Innovation

The AAM is constantly looking to combine up-and-coming technologies with the museum experience, starting by developing two innovative programs that will enhance user experience: our Next-Gen Museum Software and utilization of VR headset technology. This virtual platform will have collections, classes, film screenings, lectures, discussions, and virtual classrooms accessible internationally, at any time. Click on this image to read more!

Serving Anime Artists

Anime art has been viewed solely for its mass production and unconventional approach, not truly valued for its artistic endeavors. This leaves anime artists few ways to garner exposure for their art. The AAM dedicates its gallery to those artists, giving them recognition for their contribution to the anime art world and highlighting anime artists who had a hand in anime art history.
